such a tease

eighteen: the carnival

(a/n: i know a carnival is SOOO boring and generic for a fanfic but i like it okay>:( ALSO! this chapter has a lil drama, the idea from SimpW4sT4ken they also show a lot of support on my book, thank you so much:,) )

**back to y/n's pov!!**

You woke up to the bright sun shining through your curtains. You get up out of bed, and open them to see the hustle and bustle of the city below. Wondering what time it is, you check your phone and it is 9am. Carnival day. Your brain reminds you.

You head downstairs to eat some cereal, and you see George.

"Why are you awake?" You ask, he never gets up this early.

"I don't know. Couldn't sleep." He says, rubbing his neck.

"Are you okay? You seem tense." You say, getting a bowl out of the cabinet.

"I'm okay." He says, shakily.

"No you aren't." You say, rushing over to him, not even thinking about your cereal. You sit by George, facing towards him.

"Tell me what's wrong." You say, slightly smiling.

"Well it's hard to be here with you guys and not feel like absolute shit. You know I like you y/n, and nothing can happen between us." George says, somehow not stuttering or hesitating.

A pit formed in your stomach. You felt bad.

"I'm- i'm sorry." You say, looking down.

"No it's my fault, I- I am." George says, tears forming in his eyes. You can tell he cares, a lot.

"Here, listen. How about we make breakfast together, and if you need to say anything else, you can. If you don't want to, we can have some fun. Your decision." You suggest.

"Okay. Sounds good." George says, rubbing his eyes.

-♡︎-

Making breakfast with George was actually fun. You made another batch of your cinnamon pancakes for everyone. They were a huge hit. Playing music on your phone, you and George were dancing and messing around. You hear someone coming down the stairs, it was Nick.

**Nick's pov!!**

I had woke up a while ago, a little after y/n. I heard her soft voice talking, and it sounded like it was George that was with her, and I decided to listen in as a joke, to bring it up later that they were flirting, which would mess with her. Then, I heard:

"Well it's hard to be here with you guys and not feel like absolute shit. You know I like you y/n, and nothing can happen between us."

My heart sank. Then, my thoughts overloaded my head.

"What if she likes him back?"
"What if they did do something when they talked that morning?"
"Did they kiss?"
"Are they secretly dating?"
"Are they-"

I interrupted my own thoughts and went downstairs. They had started to cook together, messing around with each other. I tried to stay calm.

**Y/n's pov!!**

"Hey babe!" Nick says, coming over to you and giving you a kiss on your forehead.

"Morning baby." Nick says to George, winking at him.

"Stop." George says, a light pink going over his cheeks. It makes you chuckle.

Nick sits over in the stools, watching you cook up magic as always. His eyes always focused on you, having stars in his eyes, it always seemed.
